“Representitive of American Values” DOES NOT EQUAL “Voice of the American People”

Stars for the Cicero shout-out.

Character’s name is “Maz Kanata”

It is much better. Not to be too pedantic, but I believe the reason he chose that phrase is that “punter” in both the UK and Australia is an insult—technically it’s a prostitute’s client. Somebody has to get the nickname “John the Punter” now. Quickly.

For this genre, Susannah Clarke represents the acme of the footnote-usage. And actually Terry Pratchett does—or did, sad face—a great job with them as well.

Actually, he used the in-reference to that in Star Wars...and also in his special effects company. The movie was called “THX 1138” and Luke uses that number for one of the cells when they’re rescuing Leia.

“A charter school was very helpful for my particular experience” DOES NOT EQUAL “Charter schools as a general rule are great things and should never be disparaged or criticized.”

“Note: I do not want poop/vomit stories. Please stop sending me poop/vomit stories.”

In the absence of any change in gravity, weight and mass are basically equivalent. Weight is a function of mass, so if mass doesn’t change, and gravity doesn’t change, then weight remains the same. Plot hole remains.

No images. Jack Vance. He directly influenced many later writers. Or the man who tried to be the anti-Tolkien: Michael Moorcock.

It looks like it’s directly from “Hark A Vagrant”. And yup, it is: http://www.harkavagrant.com/?id=213. And since you asked for the person, it’s Kate Beaton.

Yes, that’s right. And they tried to put that H.E.R.O rule-set into other milieu, like with Fantasy Hero. I also remember that Champions had a thing about how you had to pay to make the power effects invisible—including with things like telepathy and things you would assume wouldn’t have a power effect. I also…

Other interesting super-hero RPGs from that era: Villains & Vigilantes, and Champions. V&V was co-written by the artist Jeff Dee, whose work appeared in the original Dieties and Demigods and a few of the early TSR modules. It was published by Fantasy Games Unlimited. The interesting thing about that game was that you…

Some of us even got the Avengers Assemble! and Uncanny X-Men source books. And then there was “The Ulitmate Power Handbook” (I think that was the name), that came with an updated character creation methodology and hundreds of powers. I remember the cover claimed a specific high number of powers, like 14,762 or…

True that given the a) dead Maester and b) lack of friends and modern medical conveniences, stab wounds are still survivable. There are reports of people surviving after 120+ stab wounds. Again, that is with modern medicine. The weapons looked pretty clean, and it’s not out of bounds to assume that it’s possible to…

This. Thank you.

Also not aware of the existence, per se, of “Pepperidge Farm Turnovers”, but am aware of existence of a) Pepperidge Farm, b) Turnovers. Also, have capability of putting a & b together.

Was hoping someone would show the love for that one.

Bad headline. The germane description of the students is not as “feminists.” “Narcissists” might be more appropriate.

You actually win the Internet. I mean, it won’t take or anything, because, you know, the Internet. Thanks.
